I don't know, maybe oxygen.

As a diving instructor once told me, Air is overrated.

How does oxygen fit the definition of luxury?

Though that's not really the point of your post is it? What you did was read and understand OP correctly but then thought, "won't it be so hilarious if I make a joke and answered with something that you LITERALLY can't live with out, instead of contributing to the discussion!?!?! Hahaha delightfully devilish, professorozone!"

That your comment is upvoted is disappointing. It's Reddit tier crap.

Yeah, that's exactly right. But also you missed the subtle undertones of how things are going so dystopian that soon oxygen may actually become a luxury.

Not sure why that upsets you so much. Just sit on the floor, cross your legs Indian-style if you like and take in three big breaths of air. Wooosha. Wooosha. Wooosha. Like that. You'll like it. There's oxygen in the air. Kind of like a luxury.
